Early extubation after pediatric cardiac surgery: systematic review, meta-analysis, and evidence-based recommendations

Type of Library Material:

Medical Journal

Brief description of media:

This well-conducted review concluded that early extubation appeared safe and was associated with reduction in length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, without adverse effects on mortality or morbidity, after paediatric heart surgery.
